Load management 11/28/2018 I thought this will be a fitting topic to end the year with, as over the past year I have seen many different people (age, condition, activity level) for whom this topic will be applicable. What is a tendon? A tendon is the part of the muscle that attaches onto the bone. It is therefore part of the muscular structure, but its physiology is very different from a muscle. Tendons are fibrous connective tissue with the main function of transmitting the mechanical force of the muscle to the bone.
